The Brahm's 4th Symphony in a live recording from 1943 by Wilhelm Furtwangler. Nice stuff.

Yapped a little bit more about here, but often photographed on this thread
All things Hi-Fi and Audio - show and tell and discussion
Last night on Paramount+ I watched the documentary "Blondie's New York" which was about the the making of their breakout Parallel Lines album. Besides being a great album the doc' shows a period of New York that no longer exists and, unless another great depression happens in the US, it'll never exist again.
I'm going to show my age a bit by saying this was one of the first albums I bought with my own money, from a paper route, in the very early 80's, maybe 80' or 81'. On 8-track.
Of course this was starting with the 80's, a golden age of advancements in consumer music technology, so within a relatively short period of time my small collection of 8-tracks turned into a big collection of cassettes which turned into an even bigger collection of CDs which turned into being packed up in boxes somewhere as I embraced high bit-rate MP3s and finally going nearly completely streaming the past few years. My wife, by contrast, still has CDs scattered everywhere as she listens to them in her car yet. Even though I absolutely love listening to tracks with my Sony noise cancelling over-the-ear headphones to tune out the world the sensation will never beat being a kid carrying around a huge portable 8-track player and blasting songs while playing in the sun.
Anyway, here's the full playlist for Parallel Lines....

Wonderful times. Blondie was massive in the UK at the time. Never streamlined (case in point, Rapture) and there were a number of similar bands from the same area such as Polyrock, etc. It's still a fascinating place of course, but what you say about New York then and now is so true.Last night on Paramount+ I watched the documentary "Blondie's New York" which was about the the making of their breakout Parallel Lines album.

Great post.
The early '80s were a different time, pretty much everywhere, for one reason or another. Rolled through NYC on a music tour in summer '79, it was an experience for us small town "almost adults".
Love Blondie, can put most of Blondie's and Debbie's albums on and just listen without hitting "next".

Gary Rossington, last founding member of Lynyrd Skynyrd, dies at 71
Rossington survived the 1977 plane crash that killed singer Ronnie Van Zant, guitarist Steve Gaines, and backing vocalist Cassie Gaines.
www.nbcnews.com
Gary Rossington, Lynyrd Skynyrd’s last surviving original member who also helped to found the group, died Sunday at the age of 71. No cause of death was given.
...
Rossington cheated death more than once, Rolling Stone reported. He survived a car accident in 1976 in which he drove his Ford Torino into a tree, inspiring the band’s cautionary song “That Smell.” A year later, he emerged from the 1977 plane crash that killed singer Ronnie Van Zant, guitarist Steve Gaines, and backing vocalist Cassie Gaines, with two broken arms, a broken leg, and a punctured stomach and liver.
